Procedures used for evaluation (if any)

SCHOOL OF DRAMA TEACHING ASSISTANTSEVALUATION CRITERIADuring your appointment as a teaching assistant, you will be evaluated by the TA evaluator. This evaluation will be placed in your employee file - not your student file. You will receive a copy, and will have an opportunity to comment on the evaluation. It will then go to the Administrative office for processing. This processing includes a confirmation to the Graduate School that the evaluation has been done, but no copy of the actual evaluation will be forwarded to them.

If the evaluator concludes that the TA is not meeting departmental criteria for teaching competence, then s/he will work with the TA to determine a specific, written plan for addressing the TA’s teaching difficulties.

A TA should feel free at any time to give input to the observation process. Any appeal, should one feel the need to appeal the outcome of any decision based on the observation, should follow procedures outlined in Executive Order 28. This appeal would begin with contacting the Executive Director of the School.

Criteria to be used in the evaluation will include at least the following:Preparedness effective use of class time organization of material punctualityCommunication engaging full class clear direction on assignments articulation listeningResponsibilities to students office hours assignments returned in a timely manner teaching from the syllabus consistent grading understanding/enforcing University policy
